Recognising and meeting your customer needs, MRC Markets will be introducing changes to the GOLD contracts making them more accessible.

From the 1st of January 2010, the size of a standard contract (1.0 lot) for GOLD will change from 1000 troy ounces to 100 troy ounces thus the collateral margin will decrease 10 times!

The current conditions will be in effect till the end of the trading session on 31st December, 2009 (till 19:00 GMT). We request that clients with open positions in GOLD, close the positions before 19:00 GMT on 31st January, 2009. Any positions remaining open at the end of this period will be closed automatically.

All changes can be tracked in the MRC-MetаTrader 4 terminal: right-click in the Market Watch window, choose Symbols in the context menu and check the properties of the instrument.
